John 14:6
6 Jesus *said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to
the Father but through Me.
There is no other way to come to the
Father but through Jesus. There is a movement in the world to make all religions
acceptable to Christians; that is, there is more than one way to come to the
Father. But Jesus said there is no other way but through Him. If you try to
come some other way, you won’t make it. It may sound cruel or narrow-minded to
others to say that you must come through Jesus, but that is what God has said.
He sent His Son to provide the only way to come to Him. If there was another
way, then all that Jesus did would be to no avail. Also, we could pat ourselves
on the back if salvation involved our doing something to come to the Father.
Jesus is the truth. Everything else that says it is the way to God is
falsehood. Jesus is also the life. Without Him, you have no life. You may be
alive, but you have no life in yourself. It is only through Him that one can
truly live.
If you could hear God speak to you, I believe this is what
He would say:
"My
children you have come to Me through My Son. It is He who made it possible for
you to come unto Me. I delighted in His being willing to sacrifice Himself for
you. He came that you might have life abundantly. He gave Himself that you
might experience what He has known from before the beginning of time. He is the
only way to come unto Me. All others are imposters and frauds. He is the only
way to Me. I decided upon that long ago … that it would not be through man’s
wisdom or abilities, but through My Son.”
12. I have come to the
Father through Jesus, for He is the only way to God.
